Industrial & Automotive

Globalization has led to stiff price competition and consequent shrinking margins. The push towards outsourcing and delocalization has made Supply Chain operations more complex. Market calls for innovation, tailor-made products and timely deliveries are all viewed as imperatives.

In managing the processes end-to-end, TXTPerform tackles the typical issues of each Industrial & Automotive business:

• Discrete Manufacturing
• Automotive OEM and Suppliers
• Aerospace & Defence
• Electronic Products & Semiconductors.

Discrete Manufacturing:

• Order dating with ATP/CTP logics
• Multi-plant and multi-echelon production and inventory planning
• Finite capacity scheduling in compliance with all constraints (materials, resources, manpower, optimization of sequences)
• Constant visibility over workshops to improve the management of urgencies and unexpected events.

Automotive OEM and Suppliers

• Sales forecasts for complex and personalized products (such as cars equipped with optionals)
• Spare parts demand management featuring sporadic sales profiles
• Assembly-line sequencing integrated with the scheduling of components
• Management of large stock quantities, typically with hundreds of thousands of SKUs.

Aerospace & Defence:

• Complex bills of materials, large product mix coupled with low production volumes
• Capability for containing working capital: monitoring of material transit times, reduction in work-in-progress and stock level
• Close cooperation with component suppliers along spread supply chains.

Electronic Products & Semiconductors:

• Management of a volatile demand and increasingly shorter life cycles in line with the fast-track innovation in the high-tech sector
• Management of product variants
• Output quality control, waste management, traceability.
